Chapter 267


    “Candice, did I say too much?” Sonia’s voice sounded, interrupting Candice’s thoughts.


    Candice’s jawline tightened for a moment, then returned to its original calm. “You have said


    everything that should be said and what should not be said. It makes no difference whether it is


    more or less,” she replied tly.


    A strange look shed across Sonia’s face, and she turned to Alex.


    Alex did not look at her. Instead, he picked up Peach’s medical notes from the cab next to the


    hospital bed. He flipped through two pages and put it back.


    The cold aura on his body was a bit intimidating. Peach huddled under the quilt and looked at him


    with widened eyes.


    After a moment, he raised his gaze leisurely and looked at Candice, without much emotion. It


    seemed particrly meaningful.


    Candice’s heart sank, and she looked at Alex with an expressionless face. “Does Mr. Elysian also


    want to teach me how to get along with my sister?” The words “Mr. Elysian” were spoken very


    clearly, and Candice felt ufortable now.


    Sonia’s voice was soft and gentle, but her words had been full of provocation. But Candice knew


    she had no evidence.


    Candice remained expressionless, she was full of turbulent emotions. Her green eyes looked even


    calmer than usual, however.


    Alex’s low and emotionless voice sounded nonchntly. “Have I not taught you enough?”


    Candice frowned.


    Alex sneered softly. “But then again, have you learned anything that I taught you well? I asked you


    toe to Noxville to deal with the mess left by Ivor, but you ended up looking for more trouble.


    Alex’s ck eyes reflected Candice’s face. “Do you feel that everyone in the world owes you just


    because you can’t handle your own family affairs well? Candice, you sure ce yourself on a


    pedestal.” His voice was unhurried and condescending.


    Candice felt it was difficult to breathe.


    Alex was sharp. From the short conversation between Candice and Sonia, he could guess what


    Candice was thinking. And he favored Sonia, while mocking Candice openly and implicitly.


    The embarrassing feeling of being pped in the face made Candice clench her fists slightly. But


    she still looked at Alex. The stubbornness in her bones made her unable to lower her head. Her


    eyes stayed on him for a moment, and then moved to Sonia who was beside him.


    Sonia was looking at Alex. Although it was not obvious, there was a smile in her eyes. Her voice


    was very soft. “Lex, don’t say that.” Sonia nced at Candice and smiled, as if to persuade her.”


    Candice, don’t mind him. That’s just how Lex talks.”


    Candice’s paze turned cold. Sonia’s words clearly meant that she was at fault. There were other


    patients in the ward, and their voices were persistent. Candice lowered her eyes, took a small


    breath, and said nothing more. There was no point in arguing too much about some things.


    Without evidence, everything she said was wrong, and everything she said was an unjust


    usation to frame Sonia, Candice clenched her fist till her knuckles turned white.


    The smell of disinfectant in the ward made her chest hurt every time she breathed.


    Candice looked away from Alex, fearing that the uncontroble irritation in her eyes would be too


    obvious.


    Alex was too smart. She could not hide anything from him.

    Candice looked at Peach’s IV drip bottle, said a few words briefly, picked up her bag and was


    about to leave.


    Sonia looked at her. “Candice, where are you going?”


    Candice did not even look back. “The hotel.” She went straight out.


    Sonia slowly raised her eyebrows and looked at Peach who was still lying on the bed. She sighed


    helplessly and whispered to Alex. “Lex, wait for me here. I’m going to see Candice. She must be


    angry.”


    Candice calmed down after leaving the ward. She knew clearly from Sonia’s provocative look that it


    might not be easy to find evidence between her and Yvonne.


    However, if Ivor and Yvonne had really been instigated by Sonia, then she was also the indirect


    murderer of her grandpa. It was impossible for Candice to let her off easy.


    With so many thoughts in her head, Candice did not notice the person following her.


    it was


    not until she left the hospital gate and was passing an alley that she heard the sinister


    “You are Ivor’s daughter, aren’t you?”


    +15 BONOS


    Candice paused and turned. The gangsters she had seen outside thepany branch were not


    far behind her…


    The vignce in her heart suddenly rose, and Candice took two steps back calmly. “You’ve got the


    wrong person.”


    One of them held a mobile phone In his hand and looked at Candice, then threw the mobile phone


    in front of Candice and spat. “You dare to say that the person here is not you?”


    There was a photo of Candice on the phone. The background was in Silverstone Hospital. It must


    have been taken secretly.


    The man had a sinister appearance, dark skin, and a big gold chain hanging around his neck. He


    looked at Candice with evil intentions. “We’re your father’s friends. He said that his daughter is


    sessful. You should pay some money to show your respect to your uncles. That shouldn’t be a


    problem, should it?”


    The thugs looked about the same age as Ivor, but they had more of a street–smart vibe. A single


    nce indicated they hung around outside all year round.


    When Candice heard Ivor’s name, a look of disgust appeared on her face. “I have nothing to do with


    him. You’ve followed the wrong person.”


    “The wrong person? I go to that damnpany every day and wait. That old sleaze said that hist


    son–inw is very rich and told us to ask for money from him, but in the end we haven’t even seen


    a single dime. You’re his daughter anyway, so you should be filial and respectful.”


    As the man spoke, he reached out to pull Candice. Candice’s voice suddenly rose. “Do you believe


    that I will call the police?”


    “Okay, you can report it.” Some of the younger thugs even whistled at her.


    She was blocked by them all around. There was an alley nearby, and a shop on the opposite side of


    the road. Candice’s mind was running rapidly, trying to think of a way to escape. However, before


    she could think much, she heard an exmation from behind her.


    Candice looked back sharply and saw Sonia standing not far from the alley with a frightened


    expression. There was a ck cat lying at her feet. With everyone looking at it, the cat ran away.


    Sonia was left standing there with a pale face, looking at Candice in fear.


    Sonia was really panicking. She had never seen such people before. She took two steps back and


    ran.


    Candice frowned. She opened her mouth to speak, but a young gangster beside her ran over in a


    few steps, grabbed Sonia’s arm and pulled her back.


    He grinned. “Just now I saw the two of them were together. How coincidental.”


    Sonia was scared and panicking. She grabbed Candice’s hand and said in a trembling voice.


    Candice, tell them, I’m just here on a business trip. I don’t know anything.”
